COSMETIC CONTAINER Filed May 31, 1929 1 22/; ATTORNEY Patented l; iip plication. filed. May 31 My invention relates to containers and refers particularly to deviceso'f the characterdescribed adapted for use withcosmetics and toilet preparations. I

Among the desirable properties of contain ersiof this character a'recompactness,attrac l I p I I tiveness, novelty, easeof access to the contents,'jtions 27, 27 ,127 revolve. Within'the'hinge 'is ability to carry more'thanv one/commodity;

and possibility ofobtaining access to'any desiredcompartment without disturbingor exi posing, other commodities containedtherein. All of the above, and other, desirable attrivention as willbeevident upon a considera tlon of my specificatlon and ts accompanying drawings;

of Figure 4.

The particular form of the device of my invention illustrated in the accompanying (drawings comprises a casing having the bottomlO, the front 'll, the .back12andthe ends 13 and 14."

Within the casingand fixedly "attached to the bottom thereof is a 'Y-shaped partition having the hollow arm 15 andthe two plate, arms 16 and l7, thus dividing the casing into three triangular compartments. 1 v.

Removable trays 18,v 19 and 20fare posi-f tioned within the three triangular mentsof the casing. a .1 r IA cover 21, havingan opening 22, is hingedly attached to the end 13. A cover 23, having an opening 24, is hingedly attached to the end 14. A cover25, having an opening 26, is hingedly attached to the back 12. I prefer to compartl have the inner face of the, covers of a-reflect- .ing material, or metal, in order that they may act as mirrors. r I 1 50 Each of the covers21, 23 and 25 is 152a}: gser i al iNo. 367361." f
